The resistance is identified as the 23.6% retracement of the downtrend from $2,567 to $2,165. The trend may have reversed, as suggested by the bounce from $2,165 and the bullish divergence on the hourly MACD. A falling channel suggests a bounce target around $2,290.

Support is at $2,224, a break below which may cause a fall limited to $2,193.
